Alfio Coco Basile ignited controversy last week by recalling his departure from the Argentine National Team. He hinted that some players would have made a bed for the arrival of Diego Armando Maradona to the Albiceleste substitute bench.

Alejandro Mancuso, Maradonna's assistant during his time with the National Team since 2008, did it this Tuesday night. Mancu was present throughout Pelusa's entire cycle in charge of Argentina. He experienced it firsthand, which is why he was encouraged to refute Basile's statements.
